The 76 HP is very sluggish, it's OK for AP and EP but if you only play even a fair amount of orgando yourself a favor and stick with the compact 73. I'm going with the compact, for me it will be a great all in one keyboard for what I do.

So on the new stage 3 - the action on the 76 is different than on the 88? That's strange.

1. Depends what you're trying to do. As I mentioned in another thread, you can play "Light My Fire" on an hammer action just fine. But if you play with advanced organ techniques, a hammer action (esp. a slower/heavier feeling one like the HP) may make some things impossible, or may make some things painful to the point of bleeding.

2. Buttons have the advantage of automatically being in sync with any recalled preset. However, for an organ player who manipulates the drawbar sound while playing, it may be impossible to create the desired effects. So again, the viability of that implementation it depends on the organ techniques you employ.

3. I think it would impede clav playing as well. Again, it depends on the technique/playing styles you use. And again, the HP would be worse than the HA. I think a real clav feels kind of in between a SW and a HA Nord, but nothing like an HP.

Hello, how do you like the A1 with the Wave? I've been thinking of adding a A1 or NL4 as well and curious which would pair best with my Wave.

They really go well together IMO. The Wave is already quite a capable VA, but its clearly missing an arp, MIDI sync, etc. The A1 will make up for what the Wave's VA section lacks. The A1 became my go-to machine for vintage 70s-80s analog sounds. It also replaced my streichfett as that ensemble effect emulation is AMAZING. I think they complement each other quite well, especially if you have an affection for 70s-early 90s music like I do. I then leave my NL3 for more out of this world weirdness.

I am not hearing that you have changed your mind about what you want. If this is the case, I would suggest that you steer clear of a substitution.

Then to make some recordings I plugged it into a Focusrite 2i2, and plugged the speakers into the back of that, and turned on the direct monitor switch.

I was playing moonlight sonata today and noticed that there was some latency issues. Very subtle but I had a very "disconnected" feel when playing moonlight. It was the first movement so... pretty slow.

I thought it was the forucsrite because I didn't notice it before, but when plugging the speakers directly into the keyboard again it was still there.

My Nord Stage 3 Compact is taking so long to arrive, that my dristribuitor proposses me the HP76 for the same price as the 73 Keys Model.So, with this said, thoose are my questions:

-Hammer action with Hammond playing, is really that hard?-Does the buttons instead of the Drawbars have any advantages? (PS: im kinda of afraid that the button become broken with the usage)-Does the Hammer action interfears with clavinet playing?

Also, whatever version i buy - it's going to be my main and only kb controller in my home studio, so it has to control both piano sounds and synth sounds. Also cheaper.

On the other hand, as a controller, it's important to have the full 88 key range - specially when working with Kontakt samples that has all these keyswitch mapped to these lower and upper regions of the keyboard and you have instant access instead of scrolling with "octave up/down" all the time. And of course some of the vst's i'm working with are stuff like keyscape etc. So there's a value and sense to have full hammer action. But - it's heavier and larger to carry around. At least compared to the compact version. With selling my casio px 5s to help finance some of the price, i won't have any other 88 hammer action keyboard.

Need some advice. Also - out if interest, what are you guys and gals ordering and why?
